And OTC melatonin

Got to face time DM today which was nice.

Fresh bread today from shopping that came yesterday.

I'm glad your family are getting better, math.

DD safely home from uni without having to use public transport and while she is still allowed to.
A lovely, bright, crisp sunny day
Music

Glad your Dd home safely less.

I’m grateful I’ve got food in for a Sunday dinner. Trying to have a normalish day with the meal and video link church earlier.

I'm very grateful for videolinked church too. My parish church now has a YouTube channel all its own. The organist has been surpassing himself with musical offerings.

Lovely sunshine
Online chat with friends
Watching the birds at the feeders

Hot chocolate in the garden with DH.
The little robin that seems to be a garden regular now.

I heard a bumble bee today.

I am very grateful that I feel better now than I did first thing this morning. I had a horrible tight chest and felt light headed this morning. I think it was a combination of heart burn and anxiety and hay fever but I was very concerned.

Still not 109% but much much better.

Good drying weather
Hot herb tea
Blessed silence for a change

The birds in the garden.
The lovely sunshine.

My family, both immediate and wider.

The table tennis paddles and net I’ve found in the shed.

An excellent cup of coffee to start the day
Birds singing
Friends and family keeping in touch regularly and cheerfully

The timely arrival of my fruit and veg box
Birdsong
My dad seems to be taking shielding seriously, thank goodness

A lovely hot drink in the garden.

Early morning calmness.

Online Palm Sunday services
Ds2's work finally seems to have some sort of plan for deals Ng with CoVid-19 (he's a front line care worker)
My new cooker arrived, and so ends about 2 months of cooking with nothing but an instant pot and a griddle🍾

Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week.
My neighbour is home today from hospital and a nursing home.
Slow roast pork belly for dinner.
Handel's Israel in Egypt.

Another great drying day here!
Very enjoyable quiz time on Zoom with family in UK and Down Under

(Glad to hear about your cooker, Less and your neighbour, Mitsouko - there is a great deal to be thankful for)

Gardening with ds today.
A hug from dd.

It’s such a blessing that so many of us can find the joy in such dark times.

Another brilliant drying day
Watching the cat enjoy the sunshine
DD is once again able to stress bake, so that is helping her enormously. (It's not helping my diet though🤣)

There is always something to find joy in, no matter how small. I'm so grateful for this thread because it reminds me of that.

A nice chat with my DM just now.
A walk in the sunshine with DH.
Quiet time.

New washing machine had arrived. Thank goodness. Why does everything break at once? Grateful for next day delivery as well.

Being in a position to replace the cooker and washing machine. It'll leave us struggling for a few months but at least we could do it.

Washing on the line blowing away.

Chocolate arrived for the dc in the shopping today. Not essential food but great for morale.

Sunshine and birds building nests.

Good friends who still text.
